    Summary: This book explores key developments in Non-medical Prescribing in the UK. Addressing the needs of countries in the European Market and beyond, which have been closely watching UK developments and would be interested in embedding or developing counterparts of their own. Featuring chapters by clinicians, leaders and practitioners in the UK Non-medical Prescribing arena, it identifies both current and potential future developments. Attention is paid to the different prescribing practices and governance within the four countries constituting the United Kingdom. Many lessons have been learned along the way and the purpose of this book is to share these lessons, tog ether with best practice examples in connection with the implementation of nurse/health professional led patient care, implementation of patient centered practice, and governance. Designated Registered Practitioners who have completed an enhanced training now receive a professional body qualification which enables them to prescribe within their scope of practice as Non-medical Independent Prescribers and, providing that they are competent, from anywhere within the British National Formulary independently of doctors; for Nurses, this also includes most controlled drugs. The book will be of interest to policy makers and to forward-looking professionals and practitioners in the diverse European Health and Social Care market.

    Sixteen patients with different kinds of hyperlipidemia were treated with Atroplex (Mg-Chlorphenoxyisobutyrate 350 mg, Mesoinositol-Hexanicotinate 250 mg), a new serum lipid decreasing drug. Within an interval of 60 days' standard treatment of 3 tablets of Atroplex, the serum level of cholesterol was reduced by 16-20% and that of triglycerides by 36-49%. This significant effect was obvious over the whole period of treatment. According to the compound of Clofibrate, Atroplex interfered with the anticoagulant treatment with phenprocoumon. In spite of this an AC-therapy is possible during the Atroplex medication, if the AC doses are reduced by 30-50%.
